Join the International Peace Coalition to collaborate with leaders around the world toward true peace. This week we will have Ali Rastbeen, director of the Académie Géopolitique de Paris; Mossi Raz, former Knesset member and former Director General of Peace Now; and others soon to be announced. Please send us reports for the Agenda.

The eyes of the world are locked on the fragile peace deal struck just one week ago in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, bringing the more than two year, horrific war in Gaza to an end. While there are a million arguments to be made as to why this deal might fall apart—the media is full of them—Helga Zepp-LaRouche was quite firm in discussions with colleagues on Wednesday, Oct. 15 that that kind of speculation does nothing to effect a lasting peace; it does nothing for the cause of humanity.

As she made clear in her international webcast the same day, "[E]verything now depends on changing the parameters for good, and I think that the most important thing that we can do, and you can do,… [is] to put the Oasis Plan on the agenda in a major way. If there would be an agreement by all the neighbors…that the hundred years of violence and tension has to be overcome by putting in a perspective of development for all—because the new name for peace is development—then I think there can be a change in the situation. Indeed, I think this region could reconnect to the great tradition it had in the times of the ancient silk road when Southwest Asia was a hub for the connection and trade between Asia, Europe, and Africa. That is exactly what the Oasis Plan would be the beginning of. …The best and maybe only way you can end this conflict is to lift the entire discussion on a completely new level where you have an economic development plan where everybody participates."

Only such an approach, that of rising above the level on which the conflict arose to locate the higher "one," the higher good in the common interest of advancing humanity, can work.

This is the same principle that must be invoked to avoid the geopolitical trap laid by the small minded and terribly evil warmongers in the West who are preparing Europe to march headlong into a nuclear conflict with Russia and are hoping to pull the United States with them. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was quite frank in an Oct. 15 interview with Kommersant that it is the European leaders who are driving the war policy, and "they make no secret of their desire to ‘lead Donald Trump astray from the righteous path,’ as we say—to divert him from the course he himself charted through his political instincts…." So far, to his credit, President Trump has not followed lock step; however, a big question that hangs in the air, which may be addressed on Friday when acting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visits the White House, is whether or not Trump will authorize Tomahawk long-range missiles to be sent to Ukraine. Lavrov warned, "[W]hen President Trump spoke about the possibility of supplying these missiles, he also said that he did not want to escalate the war. In other words, he has admitted that sending the missiles could lead to a serious escalation. Ukraine would no longer have anything to do with it. This would cause colossal damage to the possibility of normalizing US-Russian relations…"


Humanity is at a crossroads, and neither idle speculation nor cynical ("realistic") commentary will ensure that we move down the path away from the abyss. Getting the West to drop geopolitics and join the new paradigm may seem like it will take a miracle—but we know the first step to pulling off such a miracle: Get the Oasis Plan on the agenda for the upcoming November meeting in Cairo on Gaza reconstruction.

Change The Parameters toStart a New Paradigm — International Peace Coalition Meeting #124

MASTER MANIPULATORS!  WITH ALEX KRAINER AND HARLEY SCHLANGER

Will the growls and howls of the pro-war wolves drown out the reasonable voices calling for peace and development?  Have we not seen enough war and destabilization to know it solves nothing, but makes matters worse?  The City of London needs Permanent war, but the Global Majority is crying out for peace.  That voice needs to be louder in the U.S., to overcome the censorship and brainwashing committed to war.
The International Peace Coalition i(IPC) is playing a unique role in rallying forces to construct a new architecture for peaceful economic cooperation. Here is a link to a crucial dialogue on the method of self-development of the quality of mind needed to win this fight:

Daily Update Nov 17th – It Takes Courage to Fight for Peace

This week, Diane will be joined by long time LaRouche co-thinker and President of France's "Solidarity & Progress" Jacques Cheminade.

The French Connection to the American Revolution with Jacques Cheminade

President Trump said he's open to a diplomatic resolution with Venezuela instead of another disastrous regime change coup. He also announced a flip-flop on his decision to NOT release the Epstein files, bowing to the pressure for disclosure.  But we are not yet guaranteed full disclosure.  To get to the Deep State role, whether in pushing war against Venezuela or a cover-up of who was deploying and protecting Epstein, you must get the full picture.  That's why you should subscribe to the EIR (see link for subscription below).

Daily Update Nov 18th – No More Wars, No More Regime Change Coups

The fight over the Epstein "Files", the ADL and its "Israel First" policy, and the push for war against Venezuela exposes the vulnerability of the War Hawk-neocon establishment, and have opened a potential to defeat them.  This is an opportunity to free the population from the hybrid warfare of the pro-censorship crowd, with their fanatical efforts to control the narrative.  Get moving with us -- Now is the time for organizing, NOT the time to "wait and see" what happens!

Daily Update Nov. 19th – All Hell Is Breaking Loose — Now Is the Time to Move!

Leading into tomorrow’s 11am EIR Roundtable discussion on the increasingly dangerous situation in the Caribbean–led by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, and including participants from Venezuela, Brazil, Guyana, Mexico, and the United States–tonight’s report begins with two organizing items that address this hot issue. First we watch Diane Sare’s Latest Tiktok Video, where she speaks on the situation in Venezuela and how to actually stop the drug trade. 

Then we hear from Fabiola Ramirez  (LaRouche Movement, Mexico) on the organizing done in Mexico this week to show that physical economic development with the BRICS+ and the Belt and Road Initiative provides an actual pathway for the Carribean region to develop and get out of any ‘drug wars.’

We then return to Paris, the location of our recent International Conference, for an on-the-ground organizing report given by younger members attending the conference from Brazil and Mexico.

Weekly Battle Report – Time To Overcome the Old Paradigm

Your daily update for Thursday, November 20 from Diane Sare.

Daily Update Nov 20th – Reason in a Time of Crisis

The Caribbean/Venezuela situation is extremely worrying. The worst since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. There is no reason for the military buildup other than the overthrow of Maduro. When overwhelming military assets are gathered, it becomes more than likely it will be used. A group of former leaders of Caricom, incuding Ramotar, issued a statement a week ago demanding the Caribbean remain a zone of peace.

We are descending internationally into the law of the jungle. The U.S. fears the BRI, which the nations of the South find attractive because China actually build things. The U.S. views this as a threat, but they should not fear it. China targets no one. The U.S. can and should cooperate with the BRI.

The U.S. has great potential historically for doing good. Xi Jinping’s policy coincides with the LaRouche proposals, they have the same intention of North-South cooperation. The interview ends with a warning about the danger of nuclear war, and an endorsement of EIR as a source of vital intelligence.

Pres. Donald Ramotar — Don't Blow Up the Caribbean!

Join us for an exclusive, in-depth interview with Pino Arlacchi, former UN Under-Secretary-General and global expert on organized crime and drug policy.
In this powerful conversation, Arlacchi pulls no punches:

Venezuela & Trump’s Policy: “I’m shocked by this behavior” – a blatant violation of sovereignty and international law. It’s not about drugs; it’s about oil, regime change, and geopolitics.
Drug Routes & Europe: Analyzing a live map, Arlacchi confirms the reliability of current trafficking patterns and discusses Europe’s role in the global drug trade.
Money Laundering & the “Holder Doctrine”: Calls claims of systemic collapse a “blatant exaggeration.” Yes, drug money flows through banks — but it won’t bring down the financial system. The real culprit behind America’s opioid crisis, including fentanyl? Big Pharma and U.S. policy failures.
Legalization? No Thanks: “I’m not a prohibitionist,” but legalization won’t solve the problem — it may even make it worse.
Afghanistan & Real Solutions: Arlacchi shares his firsthand experience leading UN efforts in Afghanistan, emphasizing economic development and major infrastructure projects as the true path to eliminating drug production.
The Bigger Picture: “We have the tools; we can eliminate the drug trade.” But the real global threat? Unregulated financial capital — and why China’s model offers a stark contrast.

Arlacchi ends with a bold invitation: a follow-up interview on global finance and power. We’ve accepted.

Pino Arlacchi – We Can Defeat Dope Inc. and Win a New Paradigm

EIR News Interview: Dr. Gershon Baskin on the Gaza Ceasefire and the Path to Lasting Peace

In this in-depth 28-minute conversation, renowned Israeli peace advocate and negotiator Dr. Gershon Baskin – the architect of the 2011 Gilad Shalit exchange and a key behind-the-scenes figure linking Trump negotiator Steve Witkoff with Hamas representatives – discusses how the current Gaza ceasefire was achieved and what must happen next for it to endure.
Key points include:
• President Trump’s critical intervention, made possible by regional cooperation and U.S. leadership in humanitarian coordination and multinational peacekeeping
• The absolute necessity of large-scale economic development and reconstruction in Gaza – in line with the principles of the Oasis Plan – to create hope and overcome decades of mutual distrust
• Why joint infrastructure projects involving Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Arab states, the United States, and China offer the most realistic path forward
• The role Qatar can play in bridging U.S. and Chinese cooperation, and why excluding BRICS nations would undermine the Abraham Accords and regional prosperity
• Marwan Barghouti’s possible release: Baskin’s long-standing support for it, concerns about his condition after years of harsh treatment, and the importance of free Palestinian elections
• One-state vs. two-state realities: why only mutual recognition of each people’s right to national self-determination can work
• Baskin’s positive response to the Westphalian principle of “the advantage of the other” and Nicholas of Cusa’s approach to resolving contradictions on a higher plane

Here, one of Israel’s most experienced negotiators expresses strong alignment with the development-oriented, great-power-cooperation framework that EIR and the LaRouche movement have advocated for decades.
